How GIS Has Changed Our World

Type 2 Diabetes presents as one of the most challenging diseases that can cause other health complications. The mortality map above provides a visual on the death rate caused by Type 2 Diabetes by county for the year 2015. From the map we see multiple states effected across the United States with many states showing multiple counties that have been effected. We also see multiple states where mortality caused by Type 2 Diabetes is not an issue. What could we do to possibly decrease the rates in the effected counties and possibly join the states that aren’t effected at all?
